KUALA LUMPUR, January 24 – In a poignant moment, Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah engaged in his last pre-Cabinet meeting with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at Istana Negara. The meeting, considered extra special for both leaders, holds particular significance for Al-Sultan Abdullah as it marks the conclusion of his five-year reign as Malaysia’s 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong on January 30.
The occasion was shared on Istana Negara’s Instagram and Facebook pages, emphasizing the King’s dedicated engagement in such weekly activities throughout his reign, involving 160 meetings with four different prime ministers since February 13, 2019.
